makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened,

we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our
lives."

"Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your
hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it
is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold
on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto
some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like
that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other
person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too
possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost."
-Kaleel Jamison
